We went to a concert at the SF Conservatory of Music 2 nights ago and the soprano, who was still a student, was just brilliant. Gorgeous voice and a witty performer.

Bathroom sign in English, Spanish, and presumably Klingon.

Committed to the bit.

Man, beer sales. 😔

FOR SCIENCE 🥰

Just how tall are your kids?!? 👀
Or was a ladder involved? 🤔

Well, you are famous, Bill! 😁 I am merely, as the NYT used to say, famous to a few. But it's still the best way to reach BayWheels/Citibike customer service.

I walked away when they retired tweetdeck and the algorithm rendered it unusable for me. Now I only fire up the app for customer service issues.

Wait Rickshaw Stop isn't in the Haight! (Great show tho.)

I am hoping this winter at least brings more people around to the correct position of, “One picturesque snowfall in NYC for a couple days in December/January is fine, then basta with that shit.”

Upstate, you can have all the snow you want, you do you

Omg now that I've read it, though: This whole piece is 🔥🧼😂

I don't go that far, but we're 100% on Team Bar Soap (except for dish soap). So much unnecessary plastic for the alternative!

We liked them too! Got there midset so were lurking up in the balcony

I get flummoxed every time I try to talk about the Station Eleven author, because I always wind up inserting an awkward "Saint John, or Sinjin, I'm not sure" into the middle of her name

I too used to work at the Monarch. And I too always qualify any description of my time there as "back when it was Hearst" 😂

I had every intention of going, back when I was in college in Philly, but as I recall getting out there involved waking up obscenely early on a weekend, and I was very driven by convenience back then. (See also: 4 yrs at Penn without a single 9am class.) But I love the new space.

To all the people complaining about not understanding the Bad Bunny lyrics: you don’t really get the lyrics to most of the songs you listen to and if you know what the words say I doubt you know what they mean. Googoogoojoob my friends.

A fun and heartbreaking fact: I once mentioned the concept of more than one Filet-o-Fish in a New Yorker column and, per our unimpeachable copy department, the correct plural turns out actually to be Filet-o-Fishes
